Austin is absolutely correct. The USB Superdrive is the oldest Apple product you can still purchase new. They brought it out in 2008 to go along with the launch of the MacBook Air. The device has seen no revisions or modifications since then. It is, at least, a quality drive; I've had mine for years and years and it still sits on top of my M1 Mac Mini ready to go

If you count cables, the oldest Apple product you can get new is a 30 pin dock cable. It was released with the 1st USB iPod in 2003 whereas the Superdrive was released alongside the 1st Macbook Air in 2007

@@matthewjbauer1990 actually the 30 pin got revised from having little buttons on the side you had to push to unlock the connector to spring loaded pins. This also made the connector a lot less tall.

Conspiracy theory: all USB SuperDrive that Apple is selling was made before 2016 and the reason they still keep it around is because they made way too many of them, because they predicted that people are gonna need it, but they were wrong, so they have to keep selling it until it ran out. Even though years have passed, they still have way too many in stock, so they just hope someone would come and buy them all up, so they could officially discontinue this product. Reminder: this is 100% made up. Don’t take it too seriously.

Actually have to agree with what Matt said about the Xbox controller layout. Whenever I use the PlayStation controller for extended periods of time, my hands will start to hurt, this issue went away after I tried using an Xbox controller. the shape definitely feels nicer to hold and the stick layout really makes sense once you start to use it

The HD Apple TV has an interesting use in schools here in Germany. Schools buy them in combo with projectors and safe like 10-20€ per room. Since schools are tight on money its worth it.

I imagine half of these products, like the standard AppleTV, is just excess inventory they have sitting around in a warehouse lol

I believe that the reason why they keep selling those outdated products is for the customers who are viewing their website will see the newer ones as a better deal. Which then will make them want to buy the new one more. It’s better than just seeing one product, you get to compare the products which will make you buy the better product more. It’s there intentionally just to make the newer ones look better, to push the customers to buy the newer ones that feels more like a better deal. #Marketing

Apple was dumb to do that, they could have chosen Sony’s route like the way they did Walkman. A chip upgrade as well as adopting of 4.7 inch design , high quality audio jack and adoption of better quality speakers besides doubling down on storage; some products should be kept aside for enthusiasts

Ya that's the thing, for an iPhone specifically because it doesn't have a 3.5 mm headjack, the lightning earpods are a good pair of emergency earphones. They honestly sound ok for music, and way more than decent for watching youtube or netflix. I personally have an android phone with 3.5 mm headjack, so i love using my sony wired earphones with it as they have silicon tips and stay in my ear quite well (along with mic and action button which are both pretty good quality), but if i am switching to an iPhone I lose all my good earphones without using an adapter on it. Wireless isn't really for me as i usually forget to charge them, wired is more convenient to me.

I would beg to disagree with the 3.5mm wired earpods. In my WFH environment and because I still have these even since the 6S Plus, they have been go-to earphones for meetings and calls on my Windows laptop. If buying separately, yeaaaaa it’s overpriced. But if you’re lucky to still own one from the box before the iPhone 7, it’s been really reliable.

The dualsense makes sense I think apple and playstation got a bit of a marketing deal going on

Yeah I prefer the 5w adapter because when I leave it on to charge overnight, it trickle charges it so that way the battery stays

To be fair - the $20 apple earbuds do have better microphones than any other headphone in the price range, and sound way better than any $20 pair of headphones you can find. They're still useful for Macs & iPads. The dirty buds get to stay in my opinion. Insanely portable, sound incredible for the price, and your voice doesn't sound bad, AND can make it through the washer and drier multiple times before giving out. Mine have been through hell for the last 9 months and still kicking.

I have zero issues with my Apple Watch series 3 I’ve had it for two years & it’s still updating & got enough storage

The Mag Safe Duo is an awesome travel charger. Yeah it should’ve hade fast charging for the watch but the compact footprint and ability to charge both my phone and watch is what I’m looking for in a travel charger.

They still sell a lot of 30 Pin adapters (for some god forsaken reason) and a lot of adapters to standards we just don't use anymore. 30 pin to camera accessories (USB 1.0 I'm pretty sure) and obviously their VGA adapters (not dead port I guess but increasingly disused)

Hey does anyone know what the name of the robot T-Rex is called behind Austin? I remember seeing one of these in the mall windows when I was a little kid and I really wanted one.

Wikipedia agrees that the SuperDrive is the oldest item still being sold. But that must not be including cables, because you can still buy a 30-pin to USB (or 30 to VGA!!) cable/adapter. 30-pin to usb debuted in 2003(not sure if it was ever modified or not, and not sure when the vga adapter came out). The last product that could even use a 30-pin connection was discontinued 8 years ago. At least the SuperDrive has a use (though I agree, cost is too high for the limited use, throw a Blu-Ray laser in there, along with a usb-c adapter or cable so it can connect to modern macs and it’s appropriate.)

@@aninditabasak7694 correct. The last iPhone model that used it, stopped production in 2014(North America, 2016 in parts of the world), though. That’s where the “8 years ago” comes from. Also, the original model 30-pin used FireWire protocols primarily, not sure if they ever took that out of the spec, or if the FireWire is still buried somewhere in the spec, like if I come across an original model iPod, would a new 30-pin to usb work? Interesting thing to test 😂 (back in the day people talked about walking into a compusa with an iPod and snagging the software from a display mac over the FireWire connection, not sure if anyone ever actually did that, or just a mental exercise in forum posts)

I have the Apple TV 4K, and don't even use it, it's literally sitting in a box somewhere. I got it when i signed up for Spectrum Cable, I was making payments towards it, but then I moved and had to return the Spectrum equipment but the person at the Spectrum store had no idea what to do about the Apple TV box so she just told me to keep it. So I ended up paying maybe $30 for it in total.

I bought a Apple series 3 last year, I had the storage issue only once(fixed by wiping it clean and then updating) but since then every update has installed without issue soo.., but now it unsupported and just going to be a display piece alongside my iPhone se 2nd gen (i switched back to android)

The thing with the mouse is easily fixed by making it slightly bigger and adding a usb c to the front, and making it usable via usb c and Bluetooth whilst charging

the magic mouse rocks! the charge lasts so long and charges so quickly the charge port is not an issue. not using a port on my laptop is nice as well.

You can take any DS4 or DualSense controller, put it in pairing mode, and use it on a Mac with no cables or adapter! Great for gaming on it since it works right out of the box.
